    Not quite sure if I’m reading you right, but I’d say there’s a relevant difference between those examples, like recommending white people don’t act in blackface, which are about respecting the cultural sensitivities of a traditionally oppressed group, and those, like prohibiting trans kids from acting roles of their own gender, which are about enhancing the oppression of a traditionally oppressed group.

      You think a bigot cares about consistency? The only thing that is consistent is their ability to hate. If you think they won’t go after their own who support the ‘others’ then I have a big lesson in history for you.
